About Aram-maacah Written by AI
Aram-maacah (or Maacah) was a small Aramean kingdom located near Mount Hermon, north of Israel. During the reign of King David, the Ammonites hired soldiers from Aram-maacah and other Aramean kingdoms to help fight against Israel (1Ch.19.6-7). The Aramean forces, including the army of Maacah, gathered at the city of Medeba. Joab, David's commander, defeated the Aramean coalition, and the Arameans made peace with Israel (1Ch.19.8-19). No other details are provided about the kingdom of Aram-maacah, its rulers, or its later history. The region of Maacah is also mentioned in other contexts, sometimes referring to a person or an Israelite clan (Deu.3.14, Joshua 12:5).
